Migliaccio & Rathod LLP (“M&R”) – a private public interest law firm in Washington D.C. with a practice focused on class action litigation, principally in the areas of Data Privacy, Products Liability, Consumer Protection and Wage Theft – seeks a Senior Associate. This is a rare opportunity for an attorney to become an integral part of a busy practice.
About the Job
The Senior Associate will be fully integrated in litigation of our cases. Responsibilities may include investigating potential cases; drafting pleadings, briefs and motions; managing discovery; meeting and conferring with defense counsel; taking and defending depositions; participating in settlement negotiations and mediations; attending hearings; communicating with clients; and other tasks as assigned.
Qualifications
We are looking for a bright and energetic attorney with five-plus years of litigation experience and with an interest in the work we do. Preference will be given for those with class action or other complex civil litigation experience. Strong analytical, writing, research, and communication skills are a must. A qualified candidate should also be detail oriented and able to prioritize multiple projects and effectively solve problems while remaining calm in deadline-driven situations.
Compensation
M&R presently takes all of its cases on a contingency-fee basis, which means that the firm does not charge clients contemporaneously for attorneys’ fees, but rather, seeks to recover attorneys’ fees from corporate defendants only when a case is successfully resolved. Hence, pay for attorneys is constrained by the nature of this contingency fee practice, which enables the firm to serve its mostly working-class clientele at no out-of-pocket cost to them. Pay will be at a base salary of $120,000 a year with eligibility for bonuses, which may be substantial. Associate attorneys are also eligible for an annual holiday bonus and annual pay raise.
Benefits: Health Insurance (including dental and vision), 401(k) with matching, 20 days vacation
Location: Hybrid with ability to work twice a week from the firm’s Washington D.C. office.
Start Date: December 2024 or January 2025.
Job Type: Full-time
Pay: $120,000.00 per year plus bonuses
